Netbeans has bundled an old Maven, version 3.3.9, it can’t print out colored text to the output window. But when we switch to latest Maven 3.6.0, all color gone. I asked Netbeans guys, maven guys and jansi guys for help, but can’t get a solution. So i try to hack the maven code, i found… Read more

I have met the problem “Fix the lexer to not return null token in this state.” (see below) and used one week to fix it by hacking netbeans source code. I found out Netbeans will not pass the whole file to lexer to parse. So if your antlr grammar used “skip” syntax, it has a… Read more

First draft of netbeans quick outline plugin, click ctrl-p / command-p in mac, then click on any row to jump to there. I think using table instead of tree is much better than eclipse.

In netbeans, when i press cmomand-7, it opens navigator window which is similar to eclipse one, but it doesn’t support filtering and sometime can… Read more

I embed the Jgraphx library to netbeans antlr to provide interactive with the parser-tree. Now, the development methodology is: Create a g4 file Set the compile target, netbeans antlr plugin will real time generate a parser from your g4 file and try to parse the target file One the compile is success, that means your… Read more

Netbeans anltr alpha version is done, now you can keep changing your g4, it real time generate a parser to parser your specified file, generate the parser tree graph at the bottom. What i will do is: you click on any text on your target file, if highlight the node in the graph, so you… Read more

My netbeans antlr plugin will do this: select the file you want to compile (see the combo box above), when you editing the .g4 file, it keep using the latest g4 to compile to file you have selected, and see the result in the bottom window. Is it a good design? read count : 10
